Industrial Component Repair & Refurbishment: Hydraulic Cylinder Ram for Punch Press
The Problem
A hydraulic cylinder ram from a punch press had failed, and replacing the full unit would have been expensive.
On equipment like punch presses, damaged hydraulic components can quickly stop production. Sourcing a new replacement can mean high cost and unnecessary downtime, if it is even actually on the shelf in the country.
The Engineering Solution
Pinney Engineering Services re-engineered and manufactured a new ram to replace the failed component.
The job involved machine shop work to produce a new precision ram suited to the hydraulic cylinder and punch press application, with the aim of restoring operation while engineering and reducing the risk of the same failure happening again.
By repairing and improving the existing assembly, the customer avoided the cost of replacing the complete hydraulic cylinder.
The Industrial Component Repair & Refurbishment Result for the Cylinder Ram
The hydraulic cylinder was rebuilt with the newly manufactured ram and returned ready for service.
This repair gave the customer a practical, cost-effective solution for a critical punch press component, extending the life of the existing equipment and avoiding the expense of a full replacement.
